Windows 8.1 to support 3D printing through native API
As quickly as 3D printers have taken off, they haven't had true OS-level support. Microsoft is fixing that with Windows 8.1: a built-in API will let developers weave 3D printing into their own apps.

The only real challenge will be picking up a 3D printer in the first place -- but that's getting easier by the day.
